Michael Douglas, Best Performance by an Actor in a Television Series, Musical or Comedy, “The Kominsky Method”

“It is such an honor to be nominated as a comedy actor for ‘The Kominsky Method.’”

Antonio Banderas, Best Performance by an Actor in a Limited Series or Motion Picture Made for Television, “Genius: Picasso”

“Thanks to the members of the Hollywood Foreign Press for this recognition that I share with the phenomenal team of great professionals that National Geographic put together to create this complicated, controversial and amazing ‘Genius.’ I would love also to mention my home town of Málaga, birth place of Picasso too, for its continual effort to become a referential city of culture.”

Viggo Mortensen, Best Performance by an Actor in a Motion Picture, Musical or Comedy, “Green Book”

“I am grateful to the HFPA for this recognition, and proudly share it with Mahershala Ali, Linda Cardellini and the rest of ‘Green Book’s’ wonderful cast. Thank you, Peter Farrelly, for making a movie that inspires hope and compassion. By inviting audiences to laugh and be genuinely moved, and also to think profoundly about our society’s past and present, you have given us a story equal to the best work of Frank Capra and Preston Sturges.”

Mahershala Ali, Best Performance by an Actor in a Supporting Role in Any Motion Picture, “Green Book”

“I’d like to thank the HFPA for this extraordinary honor. I’m humbled that all our work has been recognized in such a broad capacity, especially that of my friends Viggo Mortensen and Peter Farrelly. ‘Green Book’ offered a unique opportunity to embody a man with breadth, virtuosity and complexity. I’m so grateful that our story has resonance in a time that calls for empathy.”

Regina King, Best Performance by an Actress in a Limited Series or a Motion Picture Made for Television, “Seven Seconds”

“I cannot even put into words how I feel right now hearing this exciting news from set. Just elated. So proud of these two amazing and beautiful projects. I’m incredibly lucky and humbled that these roles chose me. For Beale Street, honoring the words and legacy of James Baldwin is truly special. Thank you Hollywood Foreign Press!”

Alan Arkin, Best Performance by an Actor in a Supporting Role in a Series, Limited Series or Motion Picture Made for Television, “The Kominsky Method”

“This is wonderful news for us, Michael Douglas, and everyone associated with the show.”

Claire Foy, Best Performance by an Actress in a Supporting Role in Any Motion Picture, “First Man”

John Penotti, producer and CEO and president of SK Global, Best Motion Picture, Musical or Comedy, “Crazy Rich Asians”

“We are honored to be recognized by the HFPA! Congratulations to Constance Wu and the entire cast and crew of this film. This journey continues to be incredibly fulfilling and earth shifting. We could not have asked for better partners with Kevin Kwan, Jon M. Chu, Nina Jacobson, Brad Simpson and of course the rock star team at Warner Bros. Our dream from the beginning with SK Global and our international division of Ivanhoe Pictures was to bring compelling local stories to global audiences. ‘Crazy Rich Asians’ has helped to prove that this is in fact possible, and needed, in a huge way!”

“We are grateful to the Hollywood Foreign Press for embracing the story of Miles Morales. He is a new kind of hero – he is flawed and dealing with all kinds of relatable challenges. And as filmmakers we wanted this movie to inspire young people to become heroes. Inspire grownups to help young people become heroes. And remind us all that we’re not alone.”

“We couldn’t be more honored by the HFPA’s recognition today. Four years ago, with the support of Sony and our bold, amazing producers, we left our comfort zones and challenged every department on our movie to approach things in a new way. There were many times we questioned whether that approach was working — usually centered around the talking pig. We weren’t even sure we’d finish the movie in time. If it’s possible for a Spider-Man movie with a gargantuan international release schedule to be an underdog, we are one, and recognition like this is so meaningful for us and the multiverse of artists who worked with such care to bring Miles Morales story to life. Thank you.”

“Making ‘Incredibles 2’ was its own adventure, and we could not be more thrilled to receive a nomination from the HFPA. We love the world of the film and the fact that, behind all of the action and superpowers, ours is a story about family. We are honored to share this recognition with our incredible crew – our Pixar family – who worked so hard to bring this film to life.”

“’Pose’ has given those rarely reflected access to a mirror to see themselves more clearly. A cast and crew of unknown trans and gay actors have been given a chance to tell their own stories, as their own heroes.

“I am most overjoyed by this recognition of our show and the talents of our leading man Billy Porter because it has the potential to bring more people to ‘Pose,’ convincing those who may not believe a family drama like ours is for them. Trust me, it is.”

“All of us involved with ‘Ralph Breaks the Internet’ are so grateful for this nomination. In a world where the internet is both an incredible technology that connects people across the globe and a dangerous place to be preyed upon, we loved the idea of exploring it through the eyes of Ralph and Vanellope and having it deeply challenge their friendship. Thanks to all our cast and crew for taking this ride with us and thank you to the Hollywood Foreign Press Association for this honor.“

“What an incredible honor! I’m so thrilled for the nominations ‘The Kominsky Method,’ Michael and Alan received this morning. This show is so special to me and I’m deeply touched to be recognized among all the other nominated shows. Thank you to our extraordinary cast and crew as well as the Hollywood Foreign Press Association for all their support!”

Jed Mercurio, showrunner, Best Television Series, Drama, “Bodyguard”

“Everyone involved in making ‘Bodyguard’ is immensely flattered by the series being nominated, and congratulations to Richard Madden on being recognised for his incredible performance.”

“Thank you to the Hollywood Foreign Press. Thank you to Damien for making this beautiful film and pushing me to dig deep for the themes and moods of this score. In writing this music and thinking on the subjects of love, loss, loneliness, perseverance, and family, I felt a lot and revealed a lot of myself. I’m grateful to the HFPA for recognizing the work.”

“I am so happy, it feels like Christmas in December. I am also so very grateful to the Hollywood Foreign Press and to Mahershala Ali, Viggo Mortensen, Linda Cardellini, Nick Vallelonga, Brian Currie and Octavia Spencer along with the entire cast and crew of ‘Green Book.’ This is truly an overwhelming honor.”

“Thank you to the HFPA for the nomination for ‘Isle of Dogs.’ The film was a huge group effort that took years to make and I know that all of our many brilliant animators and craftspeople were very proud to have been part of bringing Wes’ vision to life in this special film and are especially thankful and flattered today for this recognition of their work. Also truly pleased to have our amazing composer, Alexandre Desplat, join us in this honor.”

Ted Sarandos, Netflix Chief Content Officer

“We want to congratulate our creative partners and storytellers on their nominations honoring the breadth of our programming in film and television, including Alfonso Cuaron’s exquisitely crafted ‘ROMA’ and Belgian drama ‘Girl,’ our new television titles ‘The Kominsky Method’ and ‘Bodyguard,’ returning series ‘GLOW’ and ‘Ozark,’ Regina King-starrer ‘Seven Seconds,’ as well as ‘Girl in the Movies,’ Dolly Parton and Linda Perry’s beloved song from ‘Dumplin’.’ Thank you to the Hollywood Foreign Press Association for celebrating the dedication and passion of our artists.”
